Hubert Hurkacz was seeded number four in the group for the ATP 250 tournament in Stuttgart starting Monday, which will be played on grass pitches. Nick Kyrgios and Matteo Berrettini return from injury.

After a long season playing on clay, it’s time for a short but intense season on grass. This period in tennis competitions will begin on Monday with the ATP tournament in Stuttgart, one of the stars of which will be Hubert Hurkacz (ATP 14).

Hurkacz was seeded number four and thanks to that, he has a first-round bye. His first opponent will be wild card holder Feliciano Lopez, 41 (ATP 594), or a qualified tennis player. In turn, the potential opponent in the quarter-finals of the Pole is marked by the “seven” defending champion Matteo Berrettini (ATP 20), who will face Lorenzo Sonego (ATP 48) in the opening.

Berrettini, 27, will return to action next week after a three-month break. Nick Kyrgios (ATP 26) will also return to Stuttgart after a long break. The Australian underwent knee arthroscopy in January and suffered injuries to his left foot in May during an armed robbery at his home. This will be his first start in 2024.

The first seed in the group was Stefanos Tsitsipas (ATP 5), who initially didn’t plan to play in Stuttgart, but after losing in the Roland Garros quarter-finals, he asked for a wild card. Taylor Fritz (ATP 8) will play with “2” next to her name, and Frances Tiafoe (ATP 12) will play with “3”.

Hurkacz in Stuttgart will also appear in doubles with Marcos Giron. In the first round, the Pole and the American met the Mexican Santiago Gonzalez and the Frenchman Edouard Roger-Vassin. The top seeds were Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden, whom the Wroclawian and his partner can only meet in the final.
